Your App to RouteYou link

What is the "Your App to RouteYou link"?

With Your App to RouteYou link you give your app or GPS users a very easy access to routes they like on RouteYou. And we don't charge you a thing!

The principle

How it works

Users mark their Favorite Routes on RouteYou (1). This could be a route he created himself on RouteYou, or one he picked out of the millons of routes available on RouteYou. A large part of these routes are verified and labeled with our quality label "Recommended" (read more about that here). On your app, the user logs in (2) and download his/her Favorite Routes from RouteYou(3).

And if you have a function to record a route, you can even do the inverse: upload a route form your app to RouteYou (4) and provide your user with extra RouteYou functionality.

What do you have to do

Provide a RouteYou-button on your app, and allow your users to login with their RouteYou login/pswrd. But that's easy. You just have to make use of our authentication web services (read more about them here).

Connect with that login and pswrd to RouteYou and upload a list the favorite routes of that user.

The next step is to download the route content of all or some of these favorite routes on your device (we have plenty of format download options). You can use the Route Web service to do this (read more about it here).

What’s in it for both of us?

The principle is that this cost you, nor us any out of pocket money! Yes it is free! And here is why.

What's in it for the you: the app-builder or GPS builder

The end-user of the app gets a great choice of routes/content from RouteYou (he/she can even make his/her own routes on RouteYou and download it on your device - an environment which is very expensive and timeconsuming to build if you want to offer that with your app)

It is very easy for the user to get routes of RouteYou to his/her app or GPS-device

This model is not exclusive with RouteYou and works also for any other provider of routes

The user decides what content provider he/she likes. Nor is there any exclusivity to devices/apps from our side. Let the customer decide.

The app-builder (you) has to build in very limited set of functions/software (just login, favorite selecetion and download). An extra option is the upload to RouteYou. But that is optional.

Your product gets into the picture on RouteYou and is shown to the > 1 200 000 visitors/month when they select the download button (read more about the growing number of visits on our website(s)). RouteYou makes on his site very clear how to get routes from RouteYou to your specific device (on every route/download!). And this is great promotion for your device/app. Many users are looking for a simple way to get their RouteYou-routes to a device. So if they are interested in purchasing a device/GPS/app, this will work in a positive way to promote your app/device.

We also can take up your product in our portfolio and can act as a reseller to our B2B customers.
